Chapter 247: Chapter 247: Out of sight, out of mind

Feng Yu felt the faint yet steady thump of Eren's heart beneath her ear. She was certain that he was still alive, but she wasn't relieved.

Even though he was alive, he was heavily bleeding. If the bleeding wasn't stopped, he could very easily die.

If she could use her abilities, she could have brought some healing pills for him. However, she couldn't even do that now, which made her feel a little helpless.

She also noticed that Eren wasn't wearing any storage rings. She wasn't sure if it was because she had lost his storage ring during the battle or he accidentally left it back at his place as he was in a rush to save her.

In any case, the situation didn't look favorable for him. She looked at Eren's face, which was pale. The first priority was to stabilize his condition.

Although Eren pretended to sleep, with his seventh sense, he could see everything that was happening around him without having to open his eyes.

He already realized that Feng Yu was going to have a hard time healing him, but he couldn't just give her a healing pill to feed him. It would've only led to questions about why he didn't use it in the first place.

As he also didn't want to die of blood loss, he couldn't let himself be without healing either. He had already taken steps for that.

According to the script, in the battle he had killed the Wind Tower Mage while also almost dying, which led to this situation. As for Fey, he thought that Eren had died and ran to search for Feng Yu.

Staying consistent with the script, Eren had properly created signs of battle and a body being destroyed in an attack which was supposed to belong to the wind tower mage.

Right at the place, he had dropped a storage ring which would have belonged to the wind tower mage as per his script. All Feng Yu needed was to notice that ring and bring out the healing pills that he kept within it.

As long as she found that ring, she could easily heal him and free him from this pain. He even put the ring in plain sight in Feng Yu's path to make sure Feng Yu would have noticed it.

He had already started overthinking, but soon he watched Feng Yu tear her clothes in strips. She used her torn clothes, wrapping them around Eren's body to close the wounds.

As there were no proper herbs nearby, this was the only thing that she could do for him at the moment to stop the bleeding.

Feng Yu's makeshift bandages were quickly soaked with Eren's blood, but they managed to stem the flow enough to buy him some time.

Eren's breathing was shallow, and his skin had taken on a ghastly pallor.

"If you dare die on me, I will kill you myself!" she told Eren in a low voice, however her expressions weren't as cold as before. There was even some semblance of concern in her eyes.

Eren didn't respond, but he was surprised at her words. Although it appeared like a threat, even he could feel that it came from her concern.

Just like that, she waited in front of Eren to see if there was any improvement. She could run out of the mountain, but she wasn't sure what other kinds of threats were there in the mountain.

She couldn't leave Eren behind. And if he tried to take him with her, his wounds were only going to get worse. She could only hope that with his bleeding stopped, his wounds were going to stabilize enough for them to leave together.

Waiting like that, she felt a lot colder as the layers of clothing around her body were too little. To that point she was even surprised that Eren was warmer than her in this place.

She was almost shivering, but she didn't move from her place and waited patiently.

Eren wanted to wake up, not wanting her to struggle more. However, he had just finished a battle. If he woke up so soon, wasn't it going to be suspicious?

He could only wait for an hour to pass before he could even wake up. However, he didn't expect something else to change.

Feng Yu was so cold that even she felt like it was dangerous. She subconsciously moved closer to Eren, as if trying to warm herself. Eren was the only person in this place who was still warm because of his physique.
